Hi, everyone. I hope you’re doing well. I am well here. I thought I’d send this out to everyone because I have some news. The Artist’s Inheritance, Drawing Down the Shades, and Mourning Dove Locket are rolling out of KU in the next few days. (Update: All books in the Antique Magic series are finally free of KU, as of July.)
Here’s are the synopses:
Synopsis:
The balance between good and evil can be an art… or a curse. Trevor and Caitlin were once happy newlyweds, profiting from Trevor’s art. Until Trevor inherits his brother’s house, and with it, his part of an old Welsh family curse. Now, Caitlin will stop at nothing to save her beloved husband from insanity and suicide, even if it means she must embrace her destiny and become a witch.

Book two, Caitlin’s Book of Shadows, is already free everywhere (Kobo, Itunes, etc.)
Book three, Drawing Down the Shades:
Business can be hell…Life is good at Starfort Collectibles until the owners, Caitlin and Trevor Fulmer, acquire a beautiful statuette with a murky past. Shortly thereafter, mysterious hauntings wreak havoc on the couple when a ghost in the attic threatens retribution. Caitlin presses her coven for help before the ghost succeeds in meting out deadly punishment—on Trevor.
The book is now available everywhere.
Book four: Mourning Dove Locket:
Synopsis:
For antique shop owners Caitlin and Trevor Fulmer, the intrusion of gods and ghosts is an unfortunate daily occurrence. After a young girl offers Caitlin a gold locket, however, she can’t help but notice it’s oozing with paranormal energy. More significantly, the locket’s owner is surrounded by Otherworld spirits. Caitlin recognizes in the girl all the signs of a budding witch in the midst of a dangerous crisis. Can she and her covenmates protect the girl and assist her in embracing her powers, before those beyond the veil extract their revenge?
Book five and seven roll out in July and August, so you have time on those. Six already is free of it. They are:
The Dragon’s Seamstress (book five):
Synopsis:
Since Caitlin and Trevor vowed to assist the Otherworld and opened their enchanted antique shop, they’ve seen many strange things. But now, someone comes in asking for a mundane item: kitschy “witches” brooms. Has their magical life returned to normal?As the couple prepares to host a family gathering, fate intervenes and something they’ve never seen before roars into their life: A creature out of Welsh legend and fantasy: A blundering, somewhat underdeveloped dragon—not at all the type of dragon they ever expected to meet. Forced to undertake his unique challenge, Caitlin and Trevor are perplexed by his demands, but the magical beast is certain they are the only witches who can help him.
Doing so might unlock an ancient hidden secret. Refusing might destroy them.
A Light Yule Problem (book six) already available everywhere (Kobo, Itunes, etc).
And finally: Witch’s Wood rolls out of KU on August 19th.
Synopsis:
Caitlin and Trevor inherit a set of enchanted knitting needles, needles that tangle them in another supernatural yarn. Yet the acquisition has freed their most hated enemy and he wants the needles as much as they do. But why are they so important to him? The clues may serve to solve their family’s long-standing mystery. Or lead them right into his clutches.
Can the couple cast off this twisted enigma or will their inheritance unravel their lives?
So if you like to read with Prime, now, too, is the time.
This feels weird to me, as the last time the series was free of KU was… 2018, I think. But with reading habits changing, and with Amazon not paying authors much anyway these days, I guess now is the time.
(*That pay-per-page? is about $0.004443 Per Page Which means on these books (anywhere from 200-300 pages, I make $1.24-$1.33–total for each book read in its entirety), for which I’ve been required to keep these books exclusive to Amazon, for years. )
Doesn’t seem worth it, does it?
Especially with so many readers jumping-ship on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited.
Anyway, so that’s why I’m slowly leaving KU, and if you want to read them there, you need to do so now. (I still have a few more series that will be in KU for a bit longer (Vesta’s Clockwork Companions and Clockwork & Courtship roll out on June 14, Iron Paws rolls on July 3), if you want them, you can find the list here.) You can see how weird the drops are. Books one and 3 fall out before Book two.
And since we’re off to a start with this “newsletter” this morning, I hope you enjoy my latest guest, Bethany Drake’ Tears of the Queen. You can read more about her book here in the latest “Who’s Who”. Apologies, Bethany, for taking so long to post this.
That’s all for now. Thanks for reading, y’all. I hope you enjoy the books!
